In theory yes, it's for ff cards but AFAIK most budget cards should
handle it too (that's the way it was done for all cards in Myth <= 0.16).


Well the help text sucks. :-)



Yup! :)

It's a pretty complicated matter and not very easy to explain in few words (if you have a better wording please send a patch). Basically there's two ways to set up the demux, lets call them the "hw" and the "sw" way. The "hw" method breaks Marcus Metzler's budget card (and possibly some other too), and it also makes it impossible to record multiple streams (e.g. different languages). The "sw" method is normally preferred since it fixes those things, but it doesn't work for people with DEC2000-t thingies (and probably some other devices too). They just get a black screen which is kinda bad. So until things gets fixed I made it an option.

BTW, I only mean this as a _workaround_ for you to use until the real bug is fixed. I just saw you're working with DTK on this? Great, best of luck. :)

Sure I'll try it.... when I've got my myth working again.



Just try it and see what happens, or live with an old Myth until the bug
is fixed... :)



Live with an old myth? Gasps. Wash your mouth out.
